Wonderful. Can we find accredited professionals to fight back against this sort of ignorant blather? It should not go unchallenged.

~The majority of the “expert” comments cited in the “peer review” seem to be just as deliberately ignorant as the authors about the reality of trans people’s care~

Deliberately. They have an ideological motivation to hurt and belittle and be cruel to transgender people. They do not care what is measured to be real, only what they can get away with.

The connections between these people and others in the Dark Enlightenment movement, the Seven Mountains delusion common to the Bible Thumpers, the Heritage Foundation, ACPeds, SEGM, et all . . .

The people engineering, funding, and carrying out the propaganda campaign and enacting the laws and policies against transgender people must face 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 18 U.S.C. § 241, & 18 U.S.C. § 242 prosecution.

Just another piece of bullshit written and backed by right wing zealots along with ignorant billionaires who have no morals or ethics. This piece of BS is just so they can use it to go on right wing media and podcasters and push their false claims. We must not let them get away with this. we must go on these same shows and push back on this erroneous bullshit.

By Laidlaw’s logic, we should treat type 2 diabetes with counseling alone rather than using medication. See what these sleazy quacks do?

Leor Saphir spoke at Middlebury College recently. It was protested by a group led by Lia Smith, the student who died by suicide a few weeks ago. I cannot express by continued fury that Middlebury encouraged him to speak. He was invited by a professor.

How do the anti-woke grind those axes so sharply, with their eyes so scrunched up? Don't they know that frowns cause wrinkles, not krinkles?

Gorins logic in most of his writing is flawed as he misunderstands how systematic reviews are used in clinical medicine. Yet he keeps getting his bad faith arguments platformed

I have yet to figure out how we can be "platformed" and why we haven't managed it already.

I think some have. I’ve spoken at a few places and have written items for several sites and publications. I know some others have. I was asked to be on a panel with Gorin, I considered it but backed out. I know some who have taken those opportunities and I think we should. It’s a tough balancing act to not fan the flames and platform but show up to be the reasonable voice.

Surprised it doesn't include noted luminaries like Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk (yes, sarcasm intended...).

We're in a time when truth is debatable, according to our enemies, I don't mistake it, all the years of trying to be friendly to the political right were apparently a waste of time, they have aligned with an ideology so warped it has destroyed our society from the inside, in less than a year of Trump's second presidency. I don't think it's tolerable - I think we have to stand against it, to the death. The future of civilization is in play.

Has anyone asked these “experts” to place themselves as the people the “experts” in the discourse they argue?
